Everything stays the same for the tenants of The Beresford, a grand old apartment building just outside the city...until the doorbell rings... Will Carver returns with an eerie, deliciously and uncomfortably dark standalone thriller. Just outside the city--any city, every city--is a grand, spacious, but affordable apartment building called The Beresford. There's a routine at The Beresford. For Mrs. May, every day's the same: a cup of cold, black coffee in the morning, pruning roses, checking on her tenants, wine, prayer, and an afternoon nap. She never leaves the building. Abe Schwartz also lives at The Beresford. His housemate, Sythe, no longer does. Because Abe just killed him. In exactly sixty seconds, Blair Conroy will ring the doorbell to her new home and Abe will answer the door. They will become friends. Perhaps lovers. And, when the time comes for one of them to die, as is always the case at The Beresford, there will be sixty seconds to move the body before the next...
